The larger of the two blasts came in the Nahri Sarraj District, where a mine planted in the road was hit by a passenger minibus, killing all 18 passengers aboard. Another bomb was hit by a tractor in Garmser District.

The attacks come just a day after coordinated bombings in the Uruzgan Province killed at least 22 people. Officials have insisted that Uruzgan in particular is making “progress,” but deadly attacks remain a part of daily life nationwide.
